Sanctuaire
Blaspheme Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sans porte ni frontiиre, ouvert а toutes les traces
Sanctuaire, en forme de pierre et des strass
Le centre de l'univers, sphиre dans l'espace
Au cour des йtoiles, dйgorgй du mal
Source luminaire, sur versets.
De priиres, l'au-delа des croyances
Prophиtes йphйmиres, ne t'offre dйlivrance
S'allume avec un cierge, en attendant jouissance
Au cour des йtoiles, dйgorgй du mal
Source minйrale, sur un piйdestal
Mais les remparts s'йcroulent Byzance
L'йvangile noire, rйduction des naissances
Bel abattoir de chair en pitance
Cimetiиre noir les rйduise au silence
C'est un sanctuaire, imaginaire, cimetiиre
C'est un sanctuaire, imaginaire
C'est un sanctuaire, imaginaire, cimetiиre
The song "Sanctuaire" by Blaspheme depicts a sanctuary that would accommodate mankind without any boundaries or restrictions. This sanctuary is described as a spherical structure, adorned with precious stones and minerals, nestled in the middle of the universe. It is a source of light, illuminating the darkest of verses and prayers, and beyond all faiths and creeds. The fleeting prophets failed to provide salvation to the faithful who wait ardently for it. The Virgin, ablaze with impatience, waits for the start of a celebration, lighting the candles to await their arrival. This sanctuary is not without its flaws, as its walls crumble to reveal black Gospels, which denounces the birth of life. The senseless slaughter of flesh as food and the reduction of births condemns the perpetuity of this sanctuary. The cemetery blackens and reduces all life to silence. The sanctuary, once a symbol of hope and faith, is now only an imaginary cemetery where all the dead lie in silence.
The song reflects on the shortcomings of religion, how it has failed to provide varying societies with a sense of justice, and its many contradictions that lead to chaos and disorder. It suggests that a sanctuary, a sacred place devoid of all faith and creed, is what mankind needs to coexist devoid of prejudice and inequalities.
